It wns excruciatingly funny. I qulto got a hoadacho from laughing; Indcod I laughed until I found I was crying, and then I know I wnB going to havo an attack of Btrangulated emotion, called hysteria. So I got up and turned on nil tho lights, and bathed my faco with co-is. logno, and felt better. Hut I did not go to sloop. When tho hall clock chimed two, I discover ed I was hungry; I had had nothing slnco luncheon, and oven tho thirst following tho South American goulash was gono. Thero was probably some thing to cat In tho pantry, and If thero was not, I was qulto equal to going to tho basement. As It happened, howevor, I found a very orderly assortment of left-overs and a pltchor of milk, which had no business thoro, In tho pantry, and with plenty of light I was not at all frightened. I ato bread and butter and drank milk, nnd was fast becoming a ra tional person again; I had pulled out ono of tho drawers part way, and with n tray ncross tho corner I had Improvised a comfortablo Beat. And then I noticed that tho drawer was full of soiled napkins, nnd I romembor cd tho bracelot. I hardly know why 1 decldo-t to go through tho drawer again after Flunnlgan had already dono It, but I did. I finished my milk and then, getting down on my knees, I proceeded systematically to empty tho drawer, I took out porhapB n dor.cn nnpklno nnd as many dollies without finding anything. Thon I took out a largo tray cloth, and thoro was some thing on It that mado mo look farther. Ono corner of It had boon scorched, tho clear and well-dotlned Imprint of n lighted ctgarotto or cigar, a blackened streak that trailed off Into u brown nnd yollow. I had a queer, trombly fooling, fiB If I woro on tho brink of n dlBcovory- perhaps Anno's pearls, or tho cuff buttons with storks painted an china In tho contor. Hut tho only thing I found, down In tho cornor of tho drawer, was a half-burnod clga rctto. To mo, It soomcd quite enough. It was ono of tho South American ciga rettes, with n tobacco wrapper lnstond of papor, that Mr. Harbison Binokcd. CHAPTER XII. The Roof Garden.

"A dozen housomnlds couldn't put It In ordor. Why should every man that biiioUcb drop ashos wherovor ho happona to bo?' "That's tho question of tho ngqa," I replied languidly. "What -was Max talking bo horribly about a llttlo whllo ago?" Ixilllo looked up ag grioved. "About nothing nt all," sho declared. "0OMt0nlmIt., ScatL5f ?iathiJ!5 L ' t 1 . K!

At noon Jim enmo in to huo mo, bringing Anno aa a concession to Holla. Ho was In a rngo, and ho car ried tho morning "paper llko a club In his hand.

"Mnybo thoro'a a picture!" Anno said hopefully. Jim looked. "No plcturo," he announced.

One of those follows la going to recognize her, nnd thoro'll bo tho deuco to pay." "Whon you nro all through discuss ing this thing, perhaps you will tell mo what Is tho matter," I remarked, from my couch. "Why did you lean over tho parapet Jim, and who snt on your logs?" "I didn't; nobody did," ho retorted. waving tho nowspapor. "It's a He cut out of tho wholo cloth, that's what It I naked you girls to bo docent to thoso reporters; It never pays to of fend a newspaper man. LIston to this, Kit." Ho road tho nrtlclo rapidly, furi ously, pnuslng overy now and thon to mako an exasperated comment THE ROOF GARDEN. Attempt nt Rscapo Frustrated MOm- bera of tho Four Hundred Defy tho Law. " IflnAilnl rtfflAAf 'Kfr1ftii,1 Int.. nt tho quarantined houso of James Wilson, artist and clubman, on Nine ty-fifth street, reported this morning a daring attempt .nt oscapo, mado at 3 a. m. It la In tins houso that aomo eight or nlno mombers of tho smart set wcro Imprisoned during the course of a dlnnor party, when tho Japanese butler developed smallpox. Tho party shut In tho Iioubo Includes Miss Kath crlno McNalr, tho daughter of Theo doro McNalr of tho Inter-Ocean sys tem; Mr. nnd Mrs. Dallas Ilrown, tho MIbscs Mercer, Maxwell Reed, tho well-known clubman and whip, and a Mr. Thomns Harbison, guest of tho Dallas Drowns and a South American. "'Offlcor McCloud'n story, told to a Chronlclo reporter this morning, Is nn follows: The occupants of tho houso had boon uneasy all day. From tho air of Bubdued bustle, and from n caro- ful Inspection of tho roof, made by the ontlro party during tho afternoon, his suspicion had boon, aroused. Nothing unusual, howavor, occurred during tho early part of tho night. From eight o'clock to twolvo McCloud was ro Hefted from duty,, his placo bolng taken by Mlchaol Shauo of tho Eighty sixth street station. " 'Whon McCloud enmo on duty nt midnight, Shano reported that about 11 o'clock tho searchlight of a stoamor on tho river, flashing over tho houso, had shown a man crouching on tho parnpot, evidently surveying tho roof acroBS, which nt this point Is only 12 fcot distant, with a view of making his oscnpo. On Booing Shano bolow, howevor, ho had beat n rotrcat, but not boforo tho offlcor had seen him distinctly. Ho was dressed In ovonlng clothos nnd woro a light tan over cent. " 'Ofllcor McCloud rollovcd Shano at midnight, and sont for a plain-clothes man from tho station houso. This man was stationed on tho roof of tho Bov lngton rosldonco next door, with Btrlct injunctions to provent an oscapo from tho quarantined manBlon. Nothing Busnlclous havlnc occurred, tho man on tho roof loft about 3 n. m report ing to McCloud bolow thnt ovorythlng was qulot. At that moment, glancing skywnrd, ono of tho odlcors wns ns tounded to sco a long narrow board project Itself from tho coping of tho Wilson houso, wavor uncertainly for' a momont, nnd thon advanco stealth ily toward tho parnpot across. Whon It was within a foot or two of n rest ing place, McCloud called sharply to tho invisible refug'oo nbovo, at tho Bamo tlmo firing his revolver lu the ground. "'Tho result waa surprising. Tho board stopped, trembled, swayed n llt tlo. and dropped, mUalng tho vigilant offlcor by a hair's breadth, and crash ing to tho comont with a torrlfla forco. An Inspection of tho roof from the Bovlngton houso, later, revealed noth ing unusual. It Is ovldcnt, however, that tho quarantlno is proving lrksomo to1 tho Inhabitants of tho Boquestorcd, rosldonco, most of whom nro typical Bocloty folk, without resources In thomBolvcB. Tholr condition, without vnlots and maids, is certainly pitiable. It haB been rumored that tho ladles aro doing their own hair, nnd that tho gentlemen havo been rcducod to put ting tholr own buttons in their shirts. This doplorablo situation, however, Is uuavoldablo. "'Tho vlgllanco of tho board of hoalth has boon most commondablo In thlsvcase. Beginning with a wngor over tho tolophono that thoy would brenk quarantine In 24 hours, nnd ond lng with tho attempt to span a 12-foot gulf with a board, over which to cross to frocdom, thoso shut-In society folk havo shown characteristic disregard of tho laws of tho state.

Wo sat In dond Btlonce for a minuto. Thon: VPorhans It Is truo." I said. "Not of you, Jim hut somo ono may hnvo tried to got out that way. In fact, I think It cxtromoly likely." "Who? FInnnlgnn?

"You will have to havo luncheon sont In, Jimmy; no body has ordorod anything from the shops, nnd I fool llko old Mother Hub bard." (TO UK CONTINUED.) Tho Point of View. "Honesty Is tho best policy." "Not Insur- on your llfo," blurtod out tho nnco agont. Pleating Conversationalist. A ploanlng conversationalist is any woman who doesn't say "llaton" about ovory five seconds.

Many pooplo have an idea that skimmed milk is only fit for the chickens or pigs, when-even aftor tho avorago milk Is skimmed It still con tains nearly ten por cent of solids or nutrltlvo Ingredients. Taken by Itsolf, ektm milk Is rathor thin, and ono has to drink a large quantity to got tho necessary nourish ment A pound of round steak con tains 0.18 pound of protein and has a fuol valuo of 870 calories. Ftyo pounds of milk, or two And a half quarts, will furnish nearly the same amount of protein, and has tho same amount of fuel value as a pound of round steak. A lunch of bread and skim milk la very nutritious.' Tho cooking of milk makos the pro talds somewhat moro difficult of di gestion for most persons, but thoro aro oxcoptlons.

Flsh should bo perfectly fro3h, al though It may bo kept well It frozen and cooked as soon as it Is thawed. Another thing to bo roniembered In serving fish Is to have It thorcughly cooked, or It will bo Indigestible Very serious poisoning has resulted from fish that has begun to decom pose. All varieties of fish need an accom paniment of starchy food to make a well balanced meal. , Ab the Juices of flsh have a ten-' dency to alkalinity, the use of acids, lemon .and vinegar, Is desirable to neutralize the food. The flesh of fresh fish Is Arm and hard and will rlso when pressed with the fingers. See that the eyes are bright and stand out well In the head and the gills bright. Whon flsh loee their firmness they are not considered good food. Frozen fish should bo thawed In cold water. Salt flsh should bo soaked skin sldo up, to draw out tho salt. Whon scaling flsh that are difficult, dip them quickly Into boiling water nn instant and tho scales will como off much hotter. If flsh must bo kept, wrap It In a, cloth wrung out of cold water nnd well sprinkled with salt. Keop In a' cool place, away from butter tind milk. To Bono a Flsh. Clean nnd strip off tho skin, lay on a lioard, bogln at tho tall. Run a knlfo under tho flesh close to the bono, and ocrapo awny clean from tho bono, holding tho flsh enro fully, not to break tho flakes. When tho flesh Is romovod on ono sldo, Blip tho knlfo under tho bono and remove It Then pull out all tho small bones loft. Only flsh with largo bones should bo used for boning. Flllots of Ash nro tho flosh sepa rated from tho bone. When boiling flsh, tlo up In a pleco of white cloth, then It may bo served without breaking, It handled cnrofully. Flsh that aro lucking In fat, llko cod or bass, should havo fat supplied in tho cooking or serving. 'ElStmn misused, an Idle hour waltlnir to bo cmulovod. Idle hands with no occupation.

Ways of Serving Meats. An economical dish Which Is both appetizing nnd may bo mado attrac tive, is mutton with pons. Buy a choap qtft of mutton and stow it in simmering water until tender, or near ly s6, thon add a cupful of, peas and sorvo tho stow garnished with peas. Mutton Stew for Two. Tako two mutton chops cut from noar tho shoulder. Put thorn In a shal low pan having n tight covor. Pour ovor boiling wator and simmer, add ing water ns it bolls away, using Just enough to keep tho moat from burn ing. Add two slices of turnip, two small onions and a halt an hour bo foro serving tw.o common-sized pota toes. Add salt and popper, romovo the meat and vegetables and thicken tho gravy with flour.

Good Word for the Departed. Hero is tno Kind of an omtuary a. Georgia .editor put up for a man: "Poor Jim Jones slung his earthly gar- monts on a limb and swam tho river yesterday.
